Okay. There are a few County Meath-related queries I have raised previously with Ms Graham but they keep coming up. One of those issues is access to Dublin City University. The 109A used to go there several times a day. There is significant demand for it. The current provision causes significant inconvenience, especially now, with students attending Dublin City University but living at home and the prospect of people potentially providing accommodation in their homes. I ask Ms Graham to address the possibility of reinstating that direct route to Dublin City University.

Another issue that comes up regularly relates to the Bus Éireann 105X direct route from Ratoath. Hydrogen buses are on at least some of the route. There is a significant population in Ratoath. The main bus service services Ashbourne first. Is the NTA giving consideration to increasing the number of direct services, as I believe it should? The 105X is a commercial route from Bus Éireann. Is the NTA considering direct services?
